One rail well balanced good without torque and external forces applied like starts stops ect and also will likely end up with fast wear. Two will keep it tight and balance lateral loads better. I would say it depends on how accurate you want it to be and how fast it will operate and wether motion will have soft start/stop. Personally I'd dripl those hopes and shed weight elsewhere and keep the two rails. But i only have wood machine experience so my opinion is based of that.

That is the feed back I have been getting. I will be installing two rails. I wont be able to to shed very much weight unless I change to aluminum. That will save me about 12 pounds. I might cut some holes in the gantry to lighten it up.

on reason is plasma cutters mover quickly and the more weight you have and changing directions quickly can cause movement and possibly mess your cuts up.
